Step 10 - MEMORY CHANNEL - Optional

MEMORY CHANNEL options are supported on GS140 with Console Firmware V5.3-12 or later and 8400 systems with Console Firmware V5.4-10 or later; Console Firmware is available on CD-ROM (AG-RFCBB-BE) and the following Web site: http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/interim
/gs60gs140

Two PCI System Area Network controllers supported per system

The following options are not currently supported with MEMORY CHANNEL: DJ-ML200, CIPCA


Tru64 UNIX Systems (V5.0A and later)
Each system node in the cluster requires a TruCluster Server license (QL-6BRAQ-AA)

Tru64 UNIX Systems (V4.0F or V4.0G)
Requires a minimum of Tru64 UNIX V4.0F with TruCluster V1.6 or later Each system node in a MEMORY CHANNEL cluster requires a TruCluster Production Server (QB-3RLAQ-AA) or TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL (QB-4ZCAQ-AA) software license TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL license (QB-4ZCAQ-AA), normally used for high- performance technical computing applications, is not required if systems include a TruCluster Production Server license (QB-3RLAQ-AA)

Open VMS Systems
MEMORY CHANNEL options require OpenVMS V7.1-2 or later and OpenVMS Cluster license (QL-MUZAQ-AA)

MEMORY CHANNEL Controller/Network Hub
Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-AA for each system and 1 BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable, cable connects directly to CCMAB-AA in each system For three or four system clusters, order one CCMAB-AA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each system and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster CCMHB-AA includes four CCMLB-AA line cards and supports up to four nodes; expansion up to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four additional CCMLB-AA line cards If two or more CCMAB-AA controllers are configured in each system, a second CCMHB-AA hub is required for clusters with more than two nodes in two-node clusters the CCMAB-AA may be directly connected. In cases where nodes must be separated by a longer distance than standard copper cables allow, the CCMFB option converts the output of the standard CCMAB controller or CCMLB line card to single-mode fibre optic cable. The fibre optic connection may be up to 2,000 meters long between two CCMAB controllers connected in virtual hub mode, or 3,000 meters between a CCMAB controller and a CCMHB hub. (The connection from the CCMHB hub to a second system may also be 3,000 meters). The CCMFB option requires a second PCI slot in the system from which it draws power only. It is normally connected to the corresponding CCMAB controller with the short BN39B-01 cable. The CCMFB is also used in the CCMHB hub where it occupies a slot normally used by the CCMLB line card, limiting expansion to four radial fibre optic connections. The CCMHB-BA hub expansion box provides additional slots for up to 8 fibre optic connections. Two standard length, single-mode fibre optic cables are available (BN34R-10 and BN34R-31); however, users normally provide this connection. Customers should reference the TIA/EIA 568-A Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard, Section 12.3.4. Fibre optic connectivity is completely transparent to the systems using it and has no performance impact.

Console firmware at revision V2.3 or higher

CCMAA-BA adapter must be installed in slots 0-7 of a DWLPA-AA/AB/BA/BB PCI; no restriction for
DWLPB-AA/AB/BA/BB PCI bus

For two system nodes, order one CCMAA-BA per system and one BC12N-10 cable to connect them.

For three or more system nodes, order CCMHA-AA (MEMORY CHANNEL Hub) one CCMAA-BA and one BC12N-10 cable per system node.

CCMHA-AA (MEMORY CHANNEL Hub) is configured with four CCMLA-AA Line Cards and supports up to four nodes. Expansion up to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four additional CCMLA-AA Line Cards, except TruCluster Production Server configurations

Step 12 - Graphics Support for Tru64 UNIX - Optional
Graphics support for GS140 and 8400 running Tru64 UNIX V4.0D or later can be provided through the combined use of KFE72-EA port option and the SN-PBXGB-TL graphics adapter. SN-PBXGB-TL requires 17² or 21² Professional Series monitor and keyboard for graphics support unless available onsite Selection of video extension cable and country-specific power cord required for all monitor variants EISA or ISA options are not supported on KFE72-EA subsystem

GSxxx/8x00 graphics adapter	SN-PBXGB-TL

Step 13 - Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS Partitions - Optional

A single GS140 can be divided into a maximum of three logical hardware partitions. Each partition is allocated its own set of hardware resources- CPU, memory, I/O module. Partitioning support requiresTru64 UNIX V4.0F or later, or OpenVMS V7.2 or later operating system and partitioning licenses.

System Console Firmware Revision 5.4 or later required

Each partition requires a minimum of one CPU module, one memory module, one I/O module, and one DWLPB
(PCI and PIU shelf) per partition.

Each partition must have a dedicated console terminal. The first partition will obtain this support in a standard manner via the server console panel. The second and third partition requires a KFE72-DA to obtain this console support. H8571-J adapter is required to connect KFE72-DA to the console terminal;
KFE72-DA does not include a diskette drive, which is required to support RAID Configuration Utility (RCU). Order KFE72-EA if a floppy or graphic support is required.

For more information regarding Tru64 UNIX V4.0F partitioning configuration hardware guidelines and console partition commands, see Tru64 UNIX V4.0F SPD 41.61.22 and Tru64 UNIX V4.0F System Administration Guide, Appendix E.4.

For more information regarding OpenVMS Galaxy partitioning guidelines and support, see http://www.openvms.digital.com/availability/GALAXY.html
